Good progress

Managed to find 50mm Mikunis from Finland, very rare set here. maybe they are originally from factory A10 Violet rallycar.

[Byron510]

Very cool. IIRC, the most rare Mikuni/Solex carb to have are the taper bore 50mm carbs.ni believe the jet cover is in the shape of an H on these ones.

But just the same that is a very cool vintage set up.

Find NOS header for the FIA head, unfortunately it looks that it wont fit to lhd car without modifications.

Also last year picked up this old rallycar, last time rallyed 1992

[KiKiIchiBan]

You're having good luck finding parts. FIA head, Solex 50s and that header.
What's the plans for the other car? Robbing it for bits or is it going to be another project?

[MK510]

Yes, i have to say that i've been lucky to find those parts, and all from Finland.
Other car will be hopefully back to racing someday.
